Where to go on the course

We recommend the following top spots for race viewing – see below for a chart of
estimated times for the runners’ arrival at each location.

The Band (between CP4 & 5): watch runners coming down off Bowfell to the aid
station at Old Dungeon Ghyll

CP5: The Old Dungeon Ghyll pub is hosting the Feed Station, and there’s no better
spot to support the race: settle down with your cowbell and a tea, coffee or even a
local pint in your hand

CP6: Harrison Stickle summit

CP7: Sliver Howe summit

CP8: Loughrigg Fell summit

Please do:

Bring your cowbell! If you don’t have one yet, don’t worry: you can buy yours from Race HQ at the University of Cumbria in Ambleside. They’re just £6 and will make a great addition to your life!

Be considerate and courteous to other fell users and to the general public. Feel free to let others know about the race and to explain to them what the racers are
putting themselves through.

Please do not:

Make excessive noise in the residential streets of Ambleside as the runners' coaches depart for Seathwaite: the residents will not want to hear the clatter of cowbells at 7 a.m.!

Leave litter: please ensure that you take everything home with you, or bring it to
one of our feed stations where we can dispose of it. If you see other litter in the fells, then use some extra calories to bend down and pick it up. Wombling is good
for your soul - if you doubt that, ask Bungo, Orinoco or Great Uncle Bulgaria!!
